Face Acupuncture by Sarah Bradden

I came across Sarah Bradden, who is a Cosmetic Acupuncturist, through Instagram. I was very intrigued by her posts about facial acupuncture. Not to mention that she has some really cool people in her client book which is a sign that she is doing something right.
first impressions
I had done acupuncture before, but not on the face, and could never really pinpoint (no pun intended!) if it really had an effect or not.
On top of her acupuncture therapy, Sarah treats her clients’ entire bodies and makes sure that all parts are connected. In your first appointment, you really go through all of your health issues and concerns. She is just the sweetest and most understanding woman so you feel comfortable opening up to her. She then examines your tongue and your face very thoroughly. She is a big listener and you can feel that she has a lot of knowledge about her field.
The sessions usually lasts about 90-mins and she really takes her time to make sure you are comfortable. It all starts with a good cleanse first before the acupuncture starts.
Nothing actually hurt at all except that I could feel the needles in the ear a little more. Sarah also does acupuncture on your body during the session if needed, but the most will be on your face and at every session she will apply more needles as the face muscles will build up each time.
“ My skin looked really bright. I felt my whole face was tighter... and it was even better the next day!”
While the needles did their magic, she put a led light therapy device over my face which boosts collagen and helps with acne and dark spots. At this stage, I was extremely relaxed and Sarah even gave me an amazing foot massage at the same time.
Once she removed all the needles, she applied various serums and creams with a strong facial massage and rose quartz stones.
the verdict
This is my first blog post about this treatment, and I will be posting more about the results I experience as this therapy lasts four to six months for long lasting results. I must say I was already very impressed with my first treatment. My skin looked really bright. I felt my whole face was tighter… and it was even better the next day!
After the treatment I felt a little light headed and overly energised but that disappeared in the evening and I actually had a really good night sleep.
